r months, the press and the Republican establishment alike have been expecting the Trump bubble to implode. Now that it is clear Trump is not going anywhere, we are seeing stories about a long slog of a campaign or even a brokered convention. But there is a very real possibility that, far from those kinds of days of reckoning, Donald Trump could actually RUN THE TABLE. Ironically, Trump not only could win â he could win more decisively than any non-incumbent Republican contestant for the nomination since the dawn of the modern primary system.
New Hampshire
First, let us look not at Iowa, but at New Hampshire. Trump has been leading in New Hampshire by double-digits since August. If those polls are to believed, Trump is poised not only to win, but to win decisively.
Conventional wisdom is that whichever establishment-friendly candidate places second â at this point John Kasich is lined up behind Trump, but Marco Rubio, Chris Christie, and even Jeb Bush are all said to have a shot â is going to be Trumps most-viable challenger for the nomination. But if Donald Trump dominates with 30 to 40 percent of the vote in New Hampshire, and they come in 15 to 20 points behind, how is that possible?

That is 100% true especially if Hillary or Sanders are the nominee. My main reason for opposing all career politicians is that without exception they have all pushed the cheap labor express of legal and illegal foreign workers to benefit their rich donors.
Personally, I am in my 70’s, and it is impossible for me run out of money before I kick the bucket. But then I see all my younger relatives, friends and kids, and observe how their earning power is diminished, job offerings have diminished.
When I was in engineering college, companies would come to us in college, and most of us had 3 job offers before graduating! Now I see a recent engineering graduate on dean’s list (3.65/4.00 gpa) and could not find an engineering job for 5 or 6 months!
Only Trump has shouted out about our manufacturing gone to China and Mexico. No other career politician is allowed to say that by his rich donors.
I think the worst was the "no WMDs" lie. We all saw the photos of the trucks lined up heading to Syria. Later, we all read about what was found buried in the Iraqi sand. We heard nothing and Bush never said, "here's the proof".
I like that Trump was able to shut down Hillary's war on women talk. Not sure any other candidate could have pulled that off successfully.
The company I worked for was infiltrated, Art directors who didn’t know how to draw. I don’t work in that biz anymore but I still notice it’s all female and gays as art directors. And they change every 6 months and when they come in they are worried more about furnishing their office than their jobs.
That’s the other big problem. We don’t hire talented people.
